A whole blog of random (in bullets)
- So how are you guys liking the new AllyCarter.com? Was it worth the wait? I have to say I'm really loving being able to go in and make changes (additions, corrections, etc.). So addicting!
- I hear they will soon be announcing the new cast of Dancing With the Stars, but I haven't gotten a call yet. Should I be worried? Is it possible that they have once again denied me the chance...to dance!?!?
- For everyone who has asked, I'm currently working on the first draft of Heist 2. Sadly, I have no idea when it will be finished (as it takes significantly longer to write a book than to read a book). If and when that changes I'll let you know.
- My next release is Gallagher Girls 4: ONLY THE GOOD SPY YOUNG! (in stores June 15, 2010)
- When I was on tour I finally read HUNGER GAMES, and yeah, it was just as good as everyone says it is (which is saying something.)
- Speaking of totally awesome books, can you belive I haven't seen the movie Shutter Island yet? No, me neither. After all, that is one of my all-time favorite books. I mean, that is a FREAKING AWESOME book!
- Next month I will be going to Italy to attend the Bologna Book Festival and I'm crazy excited about it! Italy! Pasta! Books! (I may not come home.)
Later,
Ally
Autographed books?!
Hey Everyone,
Just a quick note/reminder that when an author tours he/she ususally leaves a supply of signed books in their wake. I know I certainly did.
Here--one more time--is a list of some of the stores I visited. Some of them might still have autographed books in stock if you're interested in purchasing one.
Please have your parent or guardian (or someone with a credit card) contact the store(s) to place an order. (Note that they will likely charge you for the book plus a shipping and handling fee of some kind.)
Enjoy!

So much to blog about...
Hello out there!
I'm ALIVE! Yes, really, truly breathing and walking and talking and everything.
Needless to say, tour was WONDERFUL. But tiring. But I'm rested up and back at work--on Heist Society 2, in fact! It's been so long since I've been in Kat's world that it's like returning to my favorite vacation place where I know everyone's name and the scenery is always gorgeous!
I also have to say THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the many tour stops--sometimes in some pretty icky weather. Really you guys continue to amaze me, and I can't begin to thank you enough.
And for those of you who couldn't make it, I'm sorry. But don't worry, there will probably be more tours in the future! (At least I really, really hope so!)
I'm loving the Olympics.
I had a blast at Percy Jackson.
I'm trying to write 2,000 words a day for 25 days.
I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the awesomeness of Heist maybe being a movie.
I'm totally giddy that Heist Society is on the New York Times bestseller list!
And, more than anything, I'm grateful that I get to have this job and have so many wonderful things come with it.
A fact, by the way, that I owe to ever one of YOU!
